Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Boy Settlers: A Story of Early Times in Kansas
It is easy to see how boys brought up in an atmosphere like this, rich in traditions of the long past in which the early settlement of the country figured, should become imbued with the same Spirit of adventure that had brought their fathers from the older States to this new region of the West. Boys played at Indian warfare over the very ground on which they had learned to believe the Sacs and Foxes had skirmished years and years before. They loved to hear Of Black Hawk and his brother, the Prophet, as he was called; and I cannot tell you with what reverence they regarded Father Dixon, the white-haired Old man who had actually talked and traded with the famous Indians, and whose name had been given him as a title of respect by the great Black Hawk himself.
